The accidental deaths of President John F Kennedy’s grandniece Maeve Kennedy McKean and her son Gideon in a canoe accident last week has left many believing that America’s own “royal family” is truly cursed.
Maeve, 41, and her eight-year-old son Gideon went missing, presumed drowned, in Chesapeake Bay, near Annapolis, Maryland, on April 2, when they set out in a canoe to recover a ball kicked into the water by one of her other children.
The canoe has been recovered, and the family have been once again shattered with tragedy.
“With profound sadness, I share the news that the search for my beloved daughter Maeve and grandson Gideon has turned from rescue to recovery,” Maeve’s mother Kathleen Kennedy Townsend said in a statement.
“My heart is crushed, yet we shall try to summon the grace of God and what strength we have to honour the hope, energy and passion that Maeve and Gideon set forth into the world.”
